Earthmoving & Excavations Gladstone

• Earthworks refers to the removal, addition, or transportation of large quantities of soil or rock from one area to another. Earthworks are carried out in order to level out an area of land at a suitable height for a particular construction. Earthworks includes excavations, but it also covers the construction of new areas such as embankments.
